Jerome is a bit slow to respond to e-mail, phone is the better way to reach him. 320-267-8801.

Thanks! I'll try to give him a call today. Moving is a real drag. I think this will be the last time I sell my house for at least 10 years. The plus is that I get to build a new shop now!

Hey Clack,

I am good with sending a gas cap. I have to remove a rotor for you, I just need to get to an arbor press this week. Front drivers should also be do-able. What address should I send parts to with you moving and such?

Thanks, and you are making us Deere guys proud with making progress on what was deffinately a tough project.

Thanks Joe,

Mailing address is still the same for a couple of weeks.... Then it will change, slightly. We built a new house on the other end of our property, so we are only moving about a quarter of a mile and our new mailbox is right next to the old one.

Justin,

Thanks, I am sending out a box today containing:
2 used drive sprockets: AM52913. I cleaned up the best set of non-cracked used ones I could find. I only had one NOS sprocket, or I would have sent a new set.
1 NOS gas cap
1 NOS roller and pin clutch kit for the 102-C drive: AM53733
1 used 340/s brake disk, bead blasted

Good Luck!

Anyone talked to JD Decal guy lately? I'm pretty sure it was him that volunteered a decal kit. Frank Sadlon also did, so whichever is fine with me.

Also, I am thinking I will check with John at Northern Crank. Jerome has not returned either of my emails and did not return my call. He may be out of the shop for a while or just very busy.

The Windshield arrived today safe and sound. Thanks Webman for purchasing the windshield for the project. A very generous donation on your part!

One more thing.....Thanks to Leon Koch from Crivitz, Wisconsin. He has volunteered to clean, inspect, repair and ship back our Kelsey Hayes brake set up. He repaired one of these for me a couple years ago and it worked perfect.

Great! Thanks Don. Still trying to make a contact with a crank rebuilder. I'm striking out so far.

Just got a call from Jerome. We are sending the crank up to him and he will be doing the work. Kenny is donating some of the parts. Thanks to both of them!

Augie, thanks for the offer! I sent you a PM.

Kenny, thanks again for all the help! I'm sure the seat will turn out great.

Sorry I have been slow to respond, the computer at home is boxed up and ready to be moved to the new house, so I only get online when I come in to my office.
